CULINARY UTENSIL.

Application filed August 15, 1921. Serial No. 492,291;

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLIE OLSON, a citizen of the United States, and resident of St. Louis, Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Culinary Utensil, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in a culinary utensil, and has for its object a dough-roller, a measuring-cup, a biscuitcutter, a doughnut-cutter, and a grater, all arranged in combination and to be attached together so as to constitute one individual utensil.

Figure 1, is a plan View of my invention when all connected.

Fig. 2, is a sectional view of the same.

Fig. 3, is an enlarged sectional view of one end showing a portion of the roller, the grater and the biscuit cutter.

.Fig. 4, is an enlarged sectional view of the opposite end showing the measure located in the roller and the doughnut-cutter forming the one end of the utensil.

Fig. 5, is an inside view of the doughnutcutter.

Fig. 6, is a front view of the grater.

Fig. 7, is a detail perspective view of the biscuit-cutter.

Referring to the drawings 8 indicates a dough-roller which is constructed either of wood, light metal or any material found desirable, the same being made of solid material or may be constructed of atubular fashion,the tubular construction being preferable when the roller is constructed of a light durable metal. The roller as shown in the illustration is constructed preferably of wood similar to the rollers now used in the kitchen. This roller is provided with a recess 9, in its one end of a size and depth sufficient to receive a measure or cup 10. This measure being for the purpose of measuring such articles as flour, sugar or the like and the same is so arranged that it may be removed from its position and after having been used be replaced so as to keep the same at all times intact.

The ends of the roller are turned down slightly smaller than the outer periphery of the roller proper. On the turned down end 11 of the roller is placed a cap 12, the front face 13 of the cap is provided with a plurality of perforations or serrations 14, which is used as a grater; This is used for thepurpose of grating vegetables, nuts, cheese or any thing gratable which is used in connectionwith the preparation of food stuffs. This cap is supported in position on the roller by means of the pins 15, the outer ends of the pins are permitted to proect a reasonable distance beyond the surface of the cap and these pins act as lookng devices for the biscuit-cutter 16, which is in the form of a cap, and to which is attached one of the handles 17, by which the roller is operated as well as acting as a support for the manipulation of the biscuit-cutter when removed from the end of the roller.

The rim of the biscuit-cutter is provided with individual shaped recesses 18 which are arranged to fit over the pins 15 and when properly adjusted acts as a lock and supports the ends in proper position on the rollers. The outer surface of the biscuitcutter is provided with vent holes 19 which are to provide for the escape of air when the biscuit-cutter is used for that function. In the opposite end of the roller is provided the recess as previously described in which the measure is seated, and this end of the roller is likewise provided with a projection of smaller diameter and on the same is placed a ring 20 through which is placed pins 21, the same projecting slightly beyond the periphery and is for the purpose of supporting the doughnut-cutter 22 which is likewise provided with individual recesses 23 of the same construction as the recesses 18 formed on the biscuit-cutter. To the interior of the doughnut-cutter is located a small cylinder 24 which forms the hole in the doughnut, and on this cutter is located a handle 25 which is used both for operating the roller as well as manipulating the doughnut-cutter.

The device is a combined utensil and can be used as a dough-roller for rolling out the dough, a measure for measuring the various ingredients necessary for providing the proper mixture, a device for cutting biscuits from the rolled dough, and a device for cutting doughnuts. The same can be easily and readily taken apart for using each individual article and can be likewise readily connected together so that the several parts may be always intact and placed away as one individual utensil.

It is simple and operative in every respect and is expressly useful in the kitchen.

Having fully described my invention what I claim is:

1. A culinary utensil comprising a combination of a dough-roller, a pair of handles, a biscuit-cutter carried by one of said handles, a doughnut-cutter carried by the other handle, a grater formed on the end of the roller, and a measure seated in the opposite end of the roller, and a locking means for supporting the biscuit-cutter and doughnut-cutter in position on the ends of the roller, substantially as specified.

2. A culinary utensil comprising a roller, a grater formed on the end of said roller, a recess formed in the opposite end of the roller, a measure seated in the recess and which can be detached, a doughnut cutter and a biscuit-cutter detachably attached to the ends of the roller, and handles connected to the biscuit-cutter and doughnut-cutter by which the roller and the cutters may be manipulated, substantially as specified.

In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification, in presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
